57: Born with a hatred of holy bodies

Xiao Chen was stunned. Looking over, he saw a Foundation Establishment Stage Inner Sect Disciple wearing a green robe with a look of disdain on his face.

A data panel appeared before his eyes:

Name: Xue Hu

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage Fifth Level

Rating: /

Physique: None

charm value: 65/100

good-evil value: -20/100

Damn it!

Who the hell did I offend? What is this thing? As soon as he sees me, his good-evil value is negative?

Could it be that I have an Innate Hatred Sacred Physique!

Passing Inner Sect Disciples also cast strange glances. In this world where strength is respected, Xiao Chen's Qi Refining Stage cultivation clearly had no right to appear in the Inner Sect.

Some Inner Sect Disciples didn't even hide their mockery:

"Has the patrol Disciple changed recently? How did this Menial Worker enter the Inner Sect? Truly lawless!"

"Who knows? He probably bribed them with Spirit Stones again to come in and see the world. This kind of person is disgusting!"

"Look at him, over forty and only at Qi Refining Sixth Level. He probably wouldn't even qualify as an Outer Sect Disciple. Bribing with Spirit Stones? More like selling his ass!"

"I'm going to report to the Elder. This kind of trash coming to pollute the air of the Pill Hall is really bad luck!"

The crowd's mockery was like poisonous needles stabbing into Xiao Chen's heart.

"Where did this little trash come from, daring to bark in front of me! Do you know who I am?" Xiao Chen's face turned cold as he shot back without weakness.

He thought, a mere Foundation Establishment, yet so arrogant! On my turf, shouting at a Third-Grade Alchemist, truly has no sense of reality. No wonder those Golden Core Stages are even more supercilious!

As soon as these words came out, everyone watching was shocked, and one after another showed expressions of schadenfreude.

They seemed to see the scene of Xiao Chen being thrashed on the ground; it couldn't be more gratifying.

Daring to insult an Inner Sect Disciple while at the Qi Refining Stage—according to Sect rules, his legs should be broken and he should be thrown out of the Sect.

Xue Hu bared his teeth and pointed at Xiao Chen, cursing: "Little bastard! You lowly Menial Worker, you dare call me trash!"

Xiao Chen smiled calmly and glanced at everyone: "No, no, no, I'm not just talking about you. I'm saying everyone here is trash!"

Once this was said, the other dozens of Foundation Establishment Disciples instantly exploded, each filled with indignation, wishing they could rush up and tear him apart.

"Don't be so full of superiority all day. You've just reached Foundation Establishment, yet you act like you're in the Nascent Soul Stage!" Xiao Chen said nonchalantly.

Dozens of Foundation Establishment Disciples, each with a ferocious face, egged on the fleshy-faced Xue Hu:

"Senior Brother Xue, this guy has a foul mouth. Crush him to death!"

"Right! Break his dog legs! Make him crawl on the ground and beg for mercy!"

"Also, make him kneel on the ground and lick the soles of my feet!"

"It's the first time I've seen a Menial Worker with such low cultivation and such a foul mouth. We must slap him hard!"

Xiao Chen dismissed them, looking at the crowd like they were idiots. "A bunch of retards, don't f*cking fantasize here. I have serious business to do; I don't have time to play with you!"

After saying that, he turned and walked toward the hall behind him.

A group of Foundation Establishment Disciples swished over, instantly surrounding Xiao Chen, leaving no room for escape.

"You think you can just leave after insulting us? There's no such cheap deal!"

Xiao Chen's face began to darken. Clearly, you were the ones who started insulting, so how are you turning the tables now?

So he looked around, seeing them all eager to try, wishing they could tear him to pieces, and said slowly: "Are you sure you want to stop me?"

"If you don't kneel down, kowtow, and apologize today, don't even think about leaving. Even if we go to the Law Enforcement Hall, you'll still have to pay for your crime!" Xue Hu said disdainfully, crossing his arms.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh out of anger. "What crime do I need to pay for? I came to the Pill Hall for business, and you started insulting me without rhyme or reason. Isn't it only right for me to insult you back?"

"What kind of thing are you? A Menial Worker dares to talk back. When a Senior Brother speaks to you, you listen. Daring to rebut is a crime!"

Xiao Chen couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed the atmosphere in the Inner Sect was wrong; it needed to be rectified. Everyone was high and mighty, looking down on others.

"I'll say one last thing: get out of my way obediently. Otherwise, if anything happens, I won't be responsible!"

The surrounding thirty-some people immediately burst into laughter. A Qi Refining Stage Sixth Level daring to threaten a group of Foundation Establishment Stages was simply the height of absurdity.

"Stop putting on an act..." Xue Hu pointed at Xiao Chen, but before he could finish, a loud slapping sound was heard.

Then, his whole body spun uncontrollably in the air dozens of times, flying out over ten zhang and crashing heavily to the ground.

Everyone was dumbfounded; they hadn't even seen how Xiao Chen made his move.

Xue Hu scrambled up miserably and waved his hand, charging forward first: "Kill him for me!"

The other dozens of Foundation Establishment Disciples were instantly furious and rushed forward as one.

Xiao Chen's face was calm. The zhu tian sword instantly unsheathed, Sword Intent swirling in his eyes. His body shifted and dodged, drawing dozens of profound trajectories in four directions.

Black sword light shot out with the power of death, like blades of judgment, accurately slicing across everyone's shoulders.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Screams rose and fell. Dozens of figures flew out in four directions, severed hands scattered on the ground like sections of lotus root, making the passing Disciples turn pale with shock.

Xiao Chen still showed mercy and didn't take their lives; otherwise, killing dozens of Inner Sect Disciples at once would be a significant loss for the Qixia Sect.

This time was considered a lesson for them.

Afterward, Xiao Chen looked at the crowd indifferently, stepped through the hall door, and flew toward the Medicinal Herb Room.

Passing through layers of corridors, the Inner Sect Disciples coming and going cast doubtful glances at him, seemingly thinking he shouldn't be here.

But fortunately, no one like Xue Hu appeared again.

Following the signs, Xiao Chen quickly found the location of the Medicinal Herb Room, where a long queue had already formed.

Most were Disciples selling medicinal herbs, presumably just back from gathering Spiritual Plants outside and eager to exchange them for Spirit Stones.

Looking down the line, a beautiful woman in a blue dress at the front counter entered Xiao Chen's field of vision.

She wore a light blue dress, her waist tightly bound by a jade belt as slender as a demon's, her black hair falling like a waterfall to her waist, moving like a dancing spirit.

On her exquisite face, a pair of clear beautiful eyes sparkled, her long eyelashes like butterfly wings, revealing a hint of coldness, giving off a sacred and inviolable feeling.

The two female assistants beside her were also extraordinary in appearance, but under her radiance, they paled in comparison.

The Inner Sect Disciples in line only watched from afar; when they got close, they all lowered their eyes, not daring to look directly, as if one more glance would be a desecration.

Xiao Chen glanced at the mark of three green leaves on her forehead, which was particularly striking.

"Could it be another Innate Divine Body?"
